One of my favorite sweet treats is Almond bark.  You can use it in so many different ways, I always keep it on hand since it stores so well.

As I was grocery shopping last week, I stumbled across a package of mixed nuts with cranberries and raisins.

The color combination was so pretty with the red cranberries and green tinted pumpkin seeds and pistachios that I had to put a package in my cart. After a trip down the baking aisle, I knew exactly what I would make with it…

Holiday Bark!

What is Almond Bark anyway?

Almond bark is a chocolate-like confection made with vegetable fats instead of cocoa butter and with coloring and flavors added.

Almond Bark can be bought in blocks, or round discs (the round disks are often packaged as “candy coating” and comes in so many flavors and color varieties) either online or in your grocery store baking section.

Why Use Almond Bark Instead of Chocolate

The reason you might wish to use Chocolate Almond bark over a regular bar or baking chocolate is because the almond bark melts like a dream, requires no tempering and tastes so yummy.  (I say it “melts like a dream”, but if you are melting it in the microwave, you still need to keep an eye on it and stir every 15 to 30 seconds to avoid burning.)

If you have never used White Chocolate Almond Bark, it looks like this (sometimes the package says white almond bark other times it is called white bark or candy coating:)

Description

This easy white chocolate holiday bark is made with white candy coating and a festive fruit and nut blend. Quick and easy for a holiday treat! (and perfect for gift giving.)


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Package of White Candy Coating (use as much as you want, the whole package makes quite a bit)
  • +/- 3 cups of your mixings (chopped nuts, dried fruit, candy, broken pretzels.)
  • wax paper

Instructions

  1. Cover a large cookie sheet with wax paper. Spread half of your mixings over the wax paper. Place candy coating in a microwave container and melt according to the directions on the package.
  2. Pour the melted chocolate over the mixings on the cookie sheet, spreading with spatula if needed to coat as evenly as possible. Sprinkle remaining mixings over the candy while it is still wet. (Try to press the mixings in just a bit so they will stick once the candy hardens. Let the candy sit for 20 to 30 minutes to harden.
  3. Gently break bark into small pieces.
  4. Store in an airtight container.

    Can you use white chocolate chips?

    Reply
    • Jamie says

      December 11 at 11:24 am

      according to eHow, you can:

      White chocolate candy chips, also known as white chocolate candy melts, are similar to almond bark in taste, texture and composition. While they does not have the brand name of almond bark, the chips can be used similarly, as they also melt easily and harden to produce a smooth coating.

      Substitute the chips for the bark in a 1:1 ratio, so a 1/2-cup of chips would be the equivalent of a 1/2-cup of almond bark.
